Vote for your favorite baby today!

Just click on the image of your favorite baby and carefully follow the instructions.

You have two ways to vote: credit or cash

When you click on a baby photo below, you’ll be taken to another Web page that gives you two choices. Just clicking on the photo WILL NOT cast a vote!

You can use your credit card securely online or download the official voting form and send it in with your donation. That’s how it works.

Important!

You MUST write the baby’s name in the comments section when using a credit card and on the mail-in form so the baby you like gets full credit.

Remember dollars equal votes!

Voting is determined by donations to the WHAS Crusade for Children. The babies who collect the most donations will be the winners.

Take a look and vote for your favorite!

How it works

As baby photos are submitted, they will be seen here on WHASCrusade.org. People then vote for their favorite baby by sending in donations to the Crusade. The baby with the most donations (votes) will appear on the calendar cover. The baby with the second most donations will appear on his or her favorite month. Third place will choose his or her month and so on til all months are filled. You must read the official rules below.

The Crusade will have professional photos taken of the top 16 babies and those are the photos that will appear in the calendar. All babies will be included in the calendar. Those who don’t make the top 16 will get day and date spots chosen in finishing order. Vote getter number 17 will get first choice of day and date, then number 18, etc.

Bridgepoint kids create Crusade cards

The children at Bridgepoint Center in Clarksville decided since they benefit from the WHAS Crusade for Children that they wanted to do something to give. To do that they’re using their artistic talents.

Thanks to the young artists and their therapists, Bridgepoint has put together a large collection of cards for all occasions.

Cathy Stewart of Bridgepoint said, “We came up with a plan to do. We talked about holiday cards or maybe a calendar or some different things but we came up with something that we thought would be the most useful for the most people.”

The collection of Crusade cards is already in its second printing. The cards are available at the three Bridgepoint locations in Southern Indiana. The price for the cards is a simple donation to the Crusade.
